At the Edge of the Churchyard

At the edge of the churchyard

I pause as a solitary bird sings.

Spring has long gone.

And early Autumn says all ways

End in the churchyard.

The traffic passes.

 

Lassoed

When a young lady whose morals are loose

Went and lassoed me with her noose,

And I said, “honey,

I don’t have money!”

That girl she cut me loose!
